Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium heat. After a minute or so, add a tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  3. Add the onion and ginger and saute for five minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic and 1/4 teaspoons salt, and saute for another five minutes.
  5. Add the carrots and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir until the carrots are coated with the onion mixture. Turn the heat down to medium-low and, cover the pan, and cook without stirring for another five minutes. (Katzen says five; I'd say ten, at least, unless you like really crunchy carrots.).
  6. Add the lemon or lime juice and the crystallized ginger. Cover and cook without stirring for another five minutes.
  7. Transfer carrot mixture to the prepared baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork tender. (I cooked for 20 and ended up with very crunchy carrots - I think next time I'll go for 30 minutes.).
  8. Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle with the coconut. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered for another ten to fifteen minutes.
